Broken But Beautiful

20. STAY

After applying the antiseptic , Jisoo walked to the apartment's door and was about to walk out when Jennie's voice stopped her.

"Where are you going?"

"Church" Jisoo simply answered and shrugged her shoulders as if it was the most normal thing to go to a church at 2 AM.

"At 2 AM!?"

"Obviously I am going to my apartment Jennie. Where else will I go at midnight?" Jisoo continued.

"Stay" Jennie said in a soft whisper but Jisoo heard it.

"Please" She continued as she saw Jisoo straight into the eyes. And how can Jisoo say 'no' if someone so beautiful with those innocent eyes made a request to her.

Jisoo nodded. And slowly walked to her as she took off her coat. Jennie blushed , too many not so innocent thoughts coming into her mind.

She turned her back to Jisoo. "T-The bathroom is there" She said , pointing her arm in the direction.

But her body froze when she felt slender arms circling her waist and Jisoo's front pressed to Jennie's back.

Jisoo rested her face on Jennie's right shoulder. And softly whispered in her ear.

"How are you Jennie?" She asked still backhugging her.

"J-Jisoo" 

"Hmm?" She faced Jennie whose cheeks were turning red. So she pushed away , only to tease the other Kim.

"Yah! Jennieya or should I say.. Jenato?" 

"Jenato?"

"Jennie plus Tomato , Jenato" Jisoo explained laughing and poked Jennie's cheek.

"What the -" 

"You are blushing hehe" Jisoo giggled cutely.

"I - I am not blushing" Jennie tried defending her cheeks which were not helping at all as they turned into a shad of light pink.

"Really ? Then what's with this Red Mandu?" 

"I - It's a... an... Allergy! Yes Allergy!!" Jennie made an excuse. But couldn't ignore the sudden appearance of worry on Jisoo's face , her heart melted at the sight.

"What are you allergic to? Don't tell me it's me" Jisoo asked.

"I -I am allergic to um.. Backhugs!!" Jennie said but soon felt embarrassed at how lame the excuse sounded. She should have just admitted that she blushed.

Jisoo laughed and decided not to tease the Kim no.2 anymore.

"Okay. Okay! Go take a bath first Jen or do you want me to give you-" Jisoo smirked teasingly.

"SHUT UP" Jennie said running to the bathroom. She smiled. Jisoo indeed loves teasing her.

-

Jisoo exited the bathroom , her smol body just covered in a bathrobe.

"Jennie , what should I wear...I don't have any clothes here"

Jennie tried her best to not look at Jisoo's body as she didn't wanted to get embarrassed again. So she just pointed to the cubord and made her way outside to the living room."You can wear any of my clothes. It's there" 

Jisoo searched for some comfortable clothes , but the clothes that were fully ironed and kept nicely in the corner caught her attention. She looked carefully. 

She decide to change into a simple white shirt and black shorts. Taking the nicely ironed clothes in her hand she made her way to the living room.

"Mandu" She called out

"Yeah?" Jennie had already adapted to the nickname given to her so she doesn't complain anymore.

"I really thought you must have thrown these clothes" Jisoo said showing the clothes to her.

It was none other than Jisoo's clothes , the ones she lend to Jennie on the night they first met.

"How can I throw these clothes Jisoo? These were the the last things that remind me of you"

Jisoo smiled lovingly. Jennie smiled in return too.

Yes , Jennie didn't sell off Jisoo's clothes to make some money to rent an apartment, instead she sold the bracelet which was given to her by her so called parents. The only gift they ever gifted to her , that too from her real parent's money. It was so precious for her until she learnt the whole truth on the night she escaped from the prison like house , she used to call 'home'.

- 

Jennie and Jisoo decide to sleep after thier little quarrel on who will take the bed and who will take the couch that was way too comfortable with the irritating springs pricking the hell out of one's body.

Jennie argued that she'll sleep on the couch but Jisoo being the most selfless person and a good debater won the argument and took the couch.

They both were hesitant to sleep on the same bed together. Jennie didn't wanted to make Jisoo uncomfortable and Jisoo on the other side respected her privacy and knew she wanted some alone time after to so many events that happened today.

Jisoo lied on the couch covering herself with the soft comforter Jennie lend her. Her mind filled with the thought of a certain person. Jennie. Her heart filled with warmth as soon as she thought about her. Finally , she met her again after so many months. She smiled shyly as she cuddled into the soft comforter that smelled like Jennie. 

And soon the not so comfortable couch felt not so uncomfortable.
